sandro: no point to talk about
actions on metadata without harold and michael.

Publication plan.

BLD

Michael: We are still working on
some aspects of PS to XML translation.
... made some signnificant improvements, not yet finished.

csma: you can use some example
from PRD, maybe.

Michael: we define a recursive
function. but still have left the translation of Prefix, Base,
will take only a couple of days more.
... should be doable in one or two days, depends on Harold's
schedule.

josb: looked over the XML
translation... looks good. but I thought we don't need to
define translations for Base and Prefix.

Michael: well, they are part of
the language, so we should explain it.
... I don't see how we get around this.
... we have to define the translation to entity
definitions.

Harold: (just joined) looked it
up, it can be done.

csma: our question was, when
would we have it finished?

Harold: two days

csma: so we can freeze BLD on
Friday.

Harold: yes.

josb: we need two things entities
and xml-namespaces for Prefix.

Harold: ... no it is all only
between the tags, so we don't need namespaces.

<Harold> Michael and all, Ys
we would need to add a sentence or two saying something: The
presentation syntax for Base and Prefix will be preprocessed by
expanding the Base and Prefix names into full URIs. Only that
expanded version will then be translated to XML as shown in
this section.
